Two Calls for Vajont is a double international contest of contemporary art that aims to develop a creative intellectual reflection, and with it a new cultural perspective, as well as innovative ideas, for the Vajont area. The artistic projects for the two artworks of “public art” to be made on the Vajont Dam (A Call for a Line) and on the front wall of the former elementary school of the Casso village, now New Venue of Casso (A Call for a Wall) will be gathered and published on this website. The winning projects will then be actually realized (see participate).
